Genes affected

TBCK (HGNC:28261): (TBC1 domain containing kinase) This gene encodes a protein that contains a protein kinase domain, a Rhodanase-like domain and the Tre-2/Bub2/Cdc16 (TBC) domain. The encoded protein is thought to play a role in actin organization, cell growth and cell proliferation by regulating the mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. This protein may also be involved in the transcriptional regulation of the components of the mTOR complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Variant summary: TBCK c.1370delA (p.Asn457ThrfsX15) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 240840 control chromosomes. c.1370delA has been observed in individual(s) affected with Hypotonia, Infantile, With Psychomotor Retardation And Characteristic Facies 3 (example: Bhoj_2016). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27040691). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225241). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The p.Asn457ThrfsTer15 variant in TBCK has been reported in 2 affected siblings, in the homozygous state, with TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome (PMID: 27040691), and has been identified in 0.002% (1/59430) of Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs746860249). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. It is of note that this variant occurs in a homopolymer repeat, which could indicate that it is an artifact from sequencing. However, disease-causing variants have been reported in homopolymer regions, so this is not enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 225241) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by OMIM. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 457 and leads to a premature termination codon 15 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TBCK gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PM3_supporting (Richards 2015).

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported to be associated with TBCK-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000225241 /PMID: 27040691). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.
